Tuberculosis (TB) Clinic

The Winchester Chest Clinic was founded over a century ago with the goal of providing care to patients with tuberculosis. We remain firmly committed to that original mission. Our Tuberculosis Clinic is the regional referral center for tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacterial diseases. We are fully committed to the national public health initiatives relating to tuberculosis, including treating active cases, identifying and caring for contacts of active cases, and identifying and evaluating patients with latent tuberculosis infection. As part of our mission, we are actively engaged in outreach based in adult education centers in the Greater New Haven area, screening high risk persons in these community settings, and providing treatment for these individuals, who often have limited access to health care. Though the number of active cases of tuberculosis continues to decline in the United States, tuberculosis as a global problem remains an enormous challenge. In an era where disease can easily cross national and geographic boundaries, the need for an active and highly educated tuberculosis service is clear.

When you express interest in a specific study, the information from your profile will be sent to the doctor conducting that study. If you're eligible to participate, you may be contacted by a nurse or study coordinator.

If you select a health category rather than a specific study, doctors who have active studies in that area may contact you to ask if you would like to participate.

In both cases, you will be contacted by the preferred method (email or phone) that you specified in your profile.
